This is the quickest wallpaper I have created in awhile, and it's not because there wasn't any effort put into it or anything, but it's because I felt so inspired to finish it! I fell in love with the scan as soon as I saw it, and I decided that I would have to make a wallpaper version of it. (it's somewhere in the AP and MT scan galleries, I'm sure, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now.) I vectored the girl and wall from the original scan, and then I took that over to Photoshop to work on coloring everything properly. After adding the basic gradients, I then added the city behind, textures from sxc.hu, and downloaded a graffiti font from dafont.com (I'm too lazy to make my own graffiti >_>) I outlined that font in Illustrator, added the shadows with the lines, and colored it with an Airbrush. Then I put a bunch of snow, which is also just splatters turned into brushes from sxc.hu. I think that is all as far as the process goes. The total time spent on the wall is around 2 days on and off. Hopefully you enjoy this as much as I do.
Oh, I almost forgot, if you haven't already seen it, then go check out Gideon's POOL PARTY!
I have a textureless version for anyone who is interested: http://i27.tinypic.com/29e6cxx.jpg Let me know which one you think is better!

I love it, colors and vector look really good ^^ And graffiti is nice too and I can read it! :D (I'm not into graffiti so often I can't even read what was wrote, but here it's easy to read and still good looking :3)

I like it. The colors are very soft. It's always a treat to see someone actually consider color scheme.
I would use it if I liked darker than black XD
Have a nice day!

Beautiful - the city and the coloring capture the melancholy of the girl perfectly. Good job!

Very unique I'm always impressed by your work, the sex appeal is flowing it's risky and harsh but I just love your attitude I mean most wallpapers are tame and full of bright happy colors, but this one is on the level I'm not really a true fan of graffiti but i think it really works here, great textures and the windy atmosphere is refreshing. Really nice work A+ and a fav |(C_C)|

Really cute Darker Than Black wall. I think you did a great job of pulling off text and you're right, Amber looks awesome! I really like the grungy snow effect you have going there and the colors are subtle and nice. Great work! <3

Schhhweeeeet.
But please make the wall she's standing on dirtier. Which doesn't mean "LULZSLAPMORETEXTURES" but simply pick a brush, and make it dirty to create more contrast because it looks too uniform right now. Nice Contrast = Eye Orgasm = Fapworthy Wallpaper. :D

Great wall! I think it's been awhile since I've seen a Darker than Black wall with Amber. Anyway I think the wall with the graffiti is nice and easy to read and I like the color schemes of both this version and the textureless version. Definitely a +fav.

Unique coloring and touches are creating strange darkness' darker than black'

Cool, i like the style of this wallpaper, especially the graffiti text. If you made the text yourse;f then you're even more awsome. Good job and keep it up :)
4 years, 10 months ago
I like it! The way you did her shadow is nice. Maybe, like Shinn said, making the wall a tad darker would be nice, but I still like the wall this way too. The colors are a little blown out, but it kind of lends itself to the grunge effect. Fav from me!

cute pretty wall!
i like no texture better XD but where did ug et the texture?
4 years, 10 months ago
I like the other version but i'm still here to fave :'D coz im awesome like that =D
4 years, 10 months ago
I like the colours! Good job with them. They're very soft and relaxing, which gives off a nice melancholic feeling.
I think you should make the wall more grungy-like, since city walls are more... grungy. : D

A nice vector with soft colors. I like more colorful ones, but this one is exception. Has an interresting atmosphere. Good job. As always :P And widescreen & normal. Yeaz! +Fav

Pretty and cool! Great job!

This is a lovely wallpaper you have here! The colors, although they have a dull and darkish mood, are very nicely chosen and they do justify to the scan and, as I believe, to the atmosphere of these series. What else I have to mention is that the texture work you've done is excellent really, and I admit I like far more better than the textureless one (I kinda feel something is missing in the textureless version :) ). All in all, this is a great piece you presented us with and so I am adding it to my favs ;)

This wallpaper is just so wonderful!! The textures really help with the atmosphere; I just LOVE IT v (And I can see why you were so inspired to finish too xD) Amber's own colours just fit right in with the background, and it's not often that that happens vv (After all, neon green hair is kind of hard to work with xD) You did a great job!!

The wallpaper as a whole is very cool, but I don't quite care for the girl's face. It literally looks blank save for the eyes. It's rather troubling, honestly. But otherwise, I think it's a wonderful idea and the graffiti makes me smile.

I like the old post card feel you gave this.
